Goat Horn was founded in 1999 in Ontario, before relocating to Toronto. Seemingly out of step with prevailing trends in Metal at the time, mixing traditional Heavy Metal, a love of English doom masters Cathedral, and a punk attitude, the band adopted a steadfastly DIY approach that saw them tour Canada and the US before imploding in 2006.
Band leader Jason Decay rose from the ashes of Goat Horn with a new act, Cauldron, who went on to release three albums for Earache, followed by two more, the last of which, ‘New Gods’, surfaced in 2018.
